$20 payment (cash, check payable to BIS PTA, or online).
This $20 per student payment will help cover promotion related expenses, including: the Promotions Dance; the all day Field Trip to Great America; an 8th Grade Promotion TShirt for each student; and various on campus food and festivities planned throughout the week. Please make checks payable to BIS PTA and note your child’s name on the check for proper tracking.
This donation will allow us to sponsor any graduating 8th grader who is unable to finance the end-of-year activities. Only Principal Land will be aware of families in need and will distribute sponsored fees accordingly. If you are a family who would like support (or know a family that needs it), you can continue to checkout and use code 8TH2026 to have your donation waived or you may reach out to Principal Land for further details in the BIS office, or e-mail him at gland@burlingameschools.org. We want ALL students to be able to experience their graduation no matter any families personal situations.
[Why is the promotion donation only $20 this year? Thanks to you and the community, the PTA was able to raise enough funds this year to bring down the costs of 8th grade promotion compared to $85/student in previous years. That's over $25,000 the PTA will cover this year for 8th grade promotion. Thank you for supporting your BIS community!]
